Meta-blogging!

I haven't written a blog post in a while so...oh, well that isn't exactly true. I've actually been writing a lot lately. As a matter of fact, I have written daily since the school year started! The reason: I created Google Sites for both my high school classes, and I type up a recap of each class period at the end of the day for the benefit of those that miss class.

It has been invigorating, challenging, and useful to continue doing this. Not only does it benefit the students that are constantly in and out of my room, but it will also give myself (or someone else) a bit of a blueprint to follow for teaching the class again. While the blog posts themselves aren't reflective in and of themselves, they do allow me a writing outlet, as well as a chance to gather my thoughts at the end of the day. It will be interesting to see the narrative by the end of the classes to see how it can be improved for next time!.

Thanks for sharing Josh. I really like your idea of using Google Sites to lay out the class. The short recaps are also great so students that missed and parents can read about class. As specialist it is so important to keep parents and he community up to date on what is going on in our classrooms.
